Autobiography
The reason why I decided to attend FIDM, was because I started working at my mother’s boutique at 15 years old, always loved to style people’s outfits, and as soon as I visited FIDM i knew it was the perfect fit for me. All these different things inspired me so much in a way that I finally found my career and how I want to be successful. The main reason how I actually got into fashion and decided that I wanted to be in that industry was from the boutique I worked at for a long time. It gave me a lot of experience which I needed in order to open up my own store. I am so excited to see what FIDM has for me in the future. When I was 15 years old, I worked in my mom’s clothing boutique and really had a fun experience working there. My job was to help customers out with fitting rooms, helping customers pick out clothes, and working the cashier. It was so good to be able to get that type of experience so young because I kind of got a taste of what the whole fashion world looked like. One thing that was awesome about working there was that i got to learn how to deal with customers even though it was tough sometimes. I worked at the boutique for 5 years and it really made me love retail and made me want to get into that type of …show more content…

    As I mentioned before, I was not sure what to expect going in. It was very overwhelming at first, but I am so glad that I was able to meet with the people that I did. This was especially great for me because I ran into one of my childhood friends who I haven’t seen in many years. She currently works for Acrobatique Creative Branding Boutique, which I was unfamiliar with. She gave me information on what her company was about and some of the opportunities that are available.

  • Personal Narrative: Graduating High School

    123 Words  | 1 Pages

    Graduating high school was really exciting for me, but at the same time I was apprehensive because I knew it was a significant milestone in my life and I didn't know what to expect with college. However, the freedoms provided by college ending up being wonderful. I love being able to completely manage my time on my own and make my own decisions. I graduate college next May. If I were not going to grad school I would probably be dreading it because I don't think I'm ready for the "real world" and having a 9-5 job yet. So, since I am continuing my education it's going to be exciting since I will be moving to a new state and meeting new people.

    I work at a metaphysical, yoga, massage, and reiki store called Positive Practice and I am very glad that I have had the opportunity to have such an amazing experience at. Positive Practice is not only all of those things but, it is also a place of so many classes to teach and learn from such as Ground Center protect Class, The 4 Clairs, and Wire wrapping. In their metaphysical store, they sell products such as oils, gemstones in multiple shapes and sizes, candles, incense, jewelry, clothing and much more all to help your mental and sometimes physical being. At my internship I have more than 10 jobs to do basically all of the time and that is one of the reasons why I love it so much.

    Thrilled because it was one of the top state schools for science in New York. I was anxious because the school was a bit far away, and I liked to stay close to home. During orientation, I did not know what to expect, surrounded by new people, and a new environment. I wondered whether if I could really adjust to this new setting and whether it would impact might academics. As I mentioned earlier, personal success is finding where you're most comfortable and content in. Also, I was kind of on the fence on what major I was going to pursue. I knew it was going to be in the science field, but I just could not narrow down to the specifics. One of the challenges that I might face along my academic journey is not knowing what major to study. I have considered, biology, nursing, or pharmacy. The undergraduate college advisor could assist me on what major is best suited for me. Another challenge that I might face along my academic journal is procrastination coupled with laziness. Ever since I was in middle school, I always did assignments at the last minute, which might hinder my performance in the courses that I might take in college. For this problem, I am the one that should try and help myself, because in college you are expected to do your work on time. The people that I think would be helpful in supporting my academic success are my parents, peers, lecturers, and my SSO

    It was a clothing store for children. I enjoyed the job I had in the beginning; all I did was open up boxes and place the clothes in the racks so the store associates could hang them up on the store racks. I enjoyed the job because I did not have to deal with the customers that came into the store. In addition, when viewing what I value in the workplace, I realized that I find intellectual stimulation, security, and economic rewards to be the most important values.

  • My Journey To The Fashion Industry

    ...is instilled in me, that I must gain as much knowledge as possible in order to succeed in life. In the fashion industry, one must continue to learn about the world around them in order to keep up with the changes in the industry. There are many different ways today that I can keep up with what is going on in the fashion world without going to school, but school will prepare me for the challenges that are to come. The only previous work experience that I had working in a fashion was at Mortal Kombat. I did not stay at the job very long because of personal issues that I had with staff. I feel that I need to get involved in some type of fashion job so that I can network better. Networking is essential in the fashion business, because you may never see people that you want to talk to but word-of-mouth can open doors that lead you in the direction that you wanted to go.

Not only did I want to be a part of the program, I wanted to graduate from the school that they attended as well.
